About Me

Hi! My name is Emma Beedon, a student at Los Altos High School and Freestyle Academy. I take my core classes at Los Altos and am enrolled in English, Digital Media, and Film at Freestyle. In the film program, I learn to create different kinds of films, understand how to operate a camera, and how to edit films that I create.

My core life values are collaboration, encouragement, and work ethic. I value collaboration because I think it is important to connect with those around you and to work together with peers. I also value encouragement and a strong work ethic in my life. I attempt to do everything in my life with full effort. I always try to finish what I start and reach my goals once they are set. In sports, I have always tried to become the best athlete that I can be by making sure to finish every game and race with everything I have to give. In addition to this, I also value encouragement. I think it is vital to not only encourage yourself to do well, but also the others around you. I enjoy encouraging my teammates to be the best they can and to persevere through hardship. 

Outside of school, I play sports, hang out with family and friends, and give back to my community. Sports have always been a part of my life and are something that I enjoy doing everyday. In my free time, I enjoy hanging out with family and friends, and going to the beach. Additionally, I volunteer frequently because I want to give back to my community. I am part of an organization called TWC (Together We Can) where girls and moms get together to volunteer. I have created care packages for children in the hospital, have cared for animals at AAH, and have written letters to people for the holidays.

As a Freestyle student, I expect myself to expand my understanding of technology to explore my creativity. I hope to continue to learn how to create better films, and become more comfortable with Adobe platforms. I have already learned how to edit more efficiently on Premiere Pro. 

I value the opportunity and resources that I have access to as a Freestyle student. I am incredibly grateful to be enrolled in an academy that allows me to explore my interests in film and art. Freestyle provides all students with advanced technology and resources that I would have never imagined having access to in high school. Through Freestyle, I am able to express my creativity and build my understanding about how to operate technology.
